Shapers, Breast-Lifters, and Lingerie For Breastfeeding Moms

5 Shape-Shifting, Breast-Lifting Products For New Moms

Motherhood can be a hectic time for first timers. Between sleep deprivation and unexpected events, mama may feel like she's being pushed and pulled in every direction. That feeling only gets worse if she invests in any number of postpartum products that promise to shape her hips to prebaby size or lift and squeeze those breasts to help in breastfeeding. Did you use any of them? Take a look at the slight wacky, somewhat brilliant products, and let me know if they helped you during those first few postpartum months!

Bring It Up! Instant Breast Lifts($24) are disposable adhesive strips that are applied to the top of the breast to provide up to six inches of lift for A through D cup sizes. Worn on their own or under a bra, the strips give the girls the perfect heave-ho.

There are many types of shapers and post-pregnancy compression girdles to choose from, but the HipSlimmer Corset ($64) looks the most uncomfortable. All that constriction can be helpful, and the corset promises to get your hips down to prebaby size.

Any mom who has ever tried to relax while pumping knows it's no easy feat. Try to read a book while holding the contraption's horns up to your breasts. More likely than not, you will drop something and end up spilling some hard earned liquid gold. PumpEase ($34), a bra-like, stretchy fabric goes right over your nursing bra and has little slits to hold the pump's pieces in place, leaving your hands free to multitask.

SexCies ($97) is a line of lingerie shapeware specifically designed to flatten that extra fold of skin many moms get after a C-section. Created by a mom-of-three that was avoiding intimacy due to postpartum body issues, the garment places faux fur against the scar area to reduce irritation and keep women feeling good in bed.

Breastfeeding women with larger breasts can find breastfeeding to be an uncomfortable task. Some use one hand to keep their breast in the proper position, while others find placing a rolled up towel does the trick. What's the solution? The Booby Booster ($27) is a sling that attaches directly to a nursing bra to raise the breast – and keep it in place – when nursing.
